An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation into the actions of a now-former Anderson County corrections officer has resulted in that employee’s arrest.

On April 5, 2024, at the request of 7th Judicial District Attorney General Dave Clark, TBI agents began investigating allegations of potential misconduct involving 28-year-old David Antonio Berruquin. As a result of the investigation, agents determined that Berruquin, while serving as a corrections officer for the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, had contraband material within the detention facility. Further investigation revealed that he was also in possession of child sex abuse material.

On April 12, 2024, agents obtained warrants charging Berruquin with possession of a telecommunications device in a penal institution and sexual exploitation of a minor. On April 13, 2024, he was taken into custody and booked into the Anderson County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

He is no longer employed by the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.
